Greg Frewin reality TV show

Word is getting around that Greg Frewin will be in a TV show. It is being developed with Frogwater Pictures. There is a 6-minute preview that they have put on their site. There is a lot of shots of Greg talking about why he came home to Niagara Falls, as well as quite a bit about the people around him (family and workers). Apparently Greg is married with 2 children. Can you imagine being a kid and having access to a tiger whenever you want?!

It’s my understanding that the show hasn’t been picked up for broadcast yet. It looks like the show would be interesting, so I’m sure it will get picked up. I’d like to see it!

Fallsview Getaway Deals

Last Saturday I received an email from Canadian Niagara Hotels (Falls Avenue) regarding some packages they have in the Spring.

Some choice examples from the idiot file

From the Barrie Advance:

I played tourist last weekend in Niagara Falls and was struck by the fact that other parts of Ontario that try to attract tourists and their dollars must be painfully aware that nature blessed Niagara with a must-see drawing card.

It has to be tough to beat what is probably the most famous natural wonder in the world.

I wouldn’t say it is the best natural wonder (Grand Canyon, Victoria Falls, Angel Falls, the Bay of Fundy, Mount Everest and the Great Barrier Reef are but a few that come to mind) but most famous?

I think so.

Province shows confidence in Niagara

From Niagara This Week:

The provincial government is betting on Niagara Falls as a good place to invest the public’s money because of its increasing potential to continually evolve as an international tourism destination.

Premier Dalton McGuinty was in the Niagara Falls Saturday for a photo-op with municipal, regional and provincial politicians highlighting the Liberal’s $35-million investment in a new convention centre for the city.
